DESCRIPTION:Click here to live stream this event.\n\nOur Kraw Lecture Serie
s is so fantastic\, we want to bring it right to you via livestreaming. If
you aren't able to join us in person\, stream distinguished professor David
Deamer's talk on the beginnings of life\, and join in the conversation via
online comments. Join us virtually at 6:45 p.m.—or at 6 p.m. at the UC San
ta Cruz Silicon Valley Campus for a pre-event reception!\n\nOur knowledge o
f how life on Earth began is incomplete. While some pieces of the puzzle ar
e firmly established by the laws of chemistry and physics\, there is still
conjecture about what the Earth was like four billion years ago\, based on
reasonable extrapolations from observing today's Earth. David Deamer's rese
arch tests the hypothesis that hydrothermal fresh water pools associated wi
th volcanic land masses are a plausible site for life to begin. Deamer will
discuss how conditions in volcanic regions like Kamchatka\, Iceland and Ha
waii could yield clues about the origin of life in a fresh water environmen
t—and implications for the search for life on Mars and icy moons like Encel
adus and Europa.\n\nThe Kraw Lecture Series welcomes alumni\, parents\, stu
dents\, and friends of UC Santa Cruz to enjoy compelling science and techno
logy faculty presentations.
